A domain hack is an unconventional domain name that combines domain levels, especially the top-level domain (TLD), to spell out the full "name" or title of the domain, making a kind of pun. Well-known examples include blo.gs, del.icio.us, and cr.yp.to.

In this context, the "hack" represents a trick (as in programming), not an exploit or break-in (as in security).

Domains such as .as, .it, .me, or .us are easy to use as domain hacks because they correspond to short, simple dictionary words. Alternately, a name is chosen so that the last few characters match an existing top-level domain, such as "inter.net", so that every character is used in forming the common name.

Domain hacks offer the ability to produce extremely short domain names. For example, blo.gs has a total of only five letters (versus blogs.com, at eight letters), as every letter is taken into account as the site's title.

This makes them potentially valuable as redirectors (like i.am, which redirects to FortuneCity's V3 service) and as base domains from which to delegate subdomains.

My domain name and content was stolen, please help!?
Q. My friend and I own and run a website for a product that we are selling. When we first started out, another friend of ours was working with us, but we had a falling out. My friend and I got the website and the product, and the other friend left. Yesterday we found out that she has transferred our domain name to another registrar and has changed the nameservers. She has also stolen our content and our custom design. She is planning on taking our product, manufacturing it, and selling it by using our website content and domain. Fortunately, our financial backers and manufacturer are on our side, so the product stealing isn't really an issue right now, but the domain name and site content is a big problem for us (especially since all our… [cont.]

A. "the domain was actually registered in her name" There you go, sounds like you're screwed. I don't think it's much, if any, different than property like a car. If it's under their name, it's theirs and they can do whatever they want. You can't just sell somebody's car if you have possession of it or if you help pay into it and your name is not in the title. The best advice I can give you is contact the company that was originally used to register the website/domain and then contact the new one and see what can be done. I wouldn't be surprised if you need to do this through the legal system.

Can A computer Be Hacked Through a Modem?
Q. I have a Domain that has a server that accepts faxes using a 6 port modem. After considering it for sometime I am still unsure if this is a security hazard. Is it possible for someone to dial into my windows firewalled machine pretending to be a fax and compromise my machine and network? I have set up pretty solid security standards here and would hate to have such a easily preventable breach occur. The way I see it is they would have to initiate a connection over the phone line, pretend to be a fax and then that line would be connected to my machine, which has no protection from the outside environment. I mean it is firewalled but I don't know if that applies to the fax port. I dont know...give me some input PLEASE! So what… [cont.]
